LT1580CT Datasheet PDF - Linear Technology

●DESCRIPTION

●The LT®1580 is a 7A low dropout regulator designed to power the new generation of microprocessors. The drop out voltage of this device is 100mV at light loads rising to just 540mV at 7A. To achieve this dropout, a second low current input voltage 1V greater than the output voltage, is required. The device can also be used as a single supply device where dropout is comparable to an LT1584.
